Model Review: Master Gurglepox


Today we take a look at Master Gurglepox who is a Specialist class hero in Riot Quest and a Cryx Solo in Warmachine.
I was sent this mini by Privateer Press to review, paint and try out so big thanks to them!
The model is made up of a resin main body and five metal parts.


The main body is really nicely detailed though it is hard to see in these pictures. This resin is slightly translucent which is just a variation in the amount of dye used it has no effect on the quality of the sculpt.


Master Gurglepox is a corpulent necrotech riding a Cryx bone jack. I think it will be really interesting to paint that undead skin...




Various tools hang from its belt of pouches, I don't want to know what it keeps in those pouches...


On the underside there are two resin injection ports, one is round and the other a longer rectangle shape. Easy enough to clean up and hard to see being on the underneath of the model. PP have been doing a great job picking where to put these lately.


There are some minor mould lines here, as its resin just a quick scrape with the side of a hobby knife sorted this really quickly.


Both legs are metal and have a half moon shaped attachment point. You could find that you have to pin these, I didn't personally and haven't had any problems.



The upper and lower parts of the skull are separate. There is slight mould lines on the tusks. 



The buzz saw is really well cast, I really like how each arm is different, one is a large glove the other a mechanical prosthetic. 


And here it is fully assembled! I think its a pretty wacky model with a lot of charm, more than I expected it to have to be honest. I think it will be a lot of fun to paint, the main challenge I will have is resisting the urge to paint the Cryx thralls I have collected for the IKRPG at the same time...





And here Professor Pendrake shows just how tall this model is! Including the saw its the tallest model in Riot Quest to date.

If you want to pick them up for yourself you can find them here at The Outpost (a UK webstore I'm affiliated with)

For a long time my "go to" specialist was Widget and during one of PP's live streams I asked them which specialist I should try out instead of her, Will Hungerford (who makes the rules for Riot Quest) suggested I use Gurglepox.
I did just that and it ended up being my MVP for that game!
